After carrying the dresser out the front door and around the house (because our Christmas tree is blocking the side door, ha), they covered it with blankets and the original box.
Moving the dresser (upside down w/blankets in the box) onto the lift:
The box was so heavy (and unsturdy) that my brother stood on the edge of the "fork lift" pieces and rode the lift up. He was not excited about this. 
So they wrapped a rope around him and my mom held on to it so he wouldn't lean backwards. Now, had the thing tipped forward with him falling back, not sure what we would've done... all the while Ben was on the roof waiting to help and I was "supervising" with the camera! We had to have pictures!
My brother (left) and Ben (right) could not lift the dresser because of the sloped roof enough to get it to move toward the house. Luckily, they wrapped the rope around and handed it to my dad (in the window). He pulled the rope while the other two tried lifting and pushing toward the house.
Coming through our bedroom window (almost there):
The dresser is finally in it's place and everyone was exhausted!
